Lordship was a New Zealand–bred Standardbred pacer. He won two New Zealand Trotting Cup races, the richest harness race, and sometimes the richest horse race in New Zealand. He won 45 races and as a leading sire, he sustained the Globe Derby sireline through his successful sons.

In 1962, as a four-year-old, he beat the great champion racehorse Cardigan Bay in the New Zealand Trotting Cup on a rain-affected track. He was a bit of a mudlark and won the 1966 version of the Cup, again on a wet track.

He won the following major races:

  • 1962 New Zealand Trotting Cup
  • 1964 Auckland Pacing Cup
  • 1966 New Zealand Trotting Cup
